A new collection of contemporary short fiction by the author of Growing a New Tail. In this collection, Lisa C. Taylor's varied characters face feelings of inadequacy, grief, loneliness, and love with humor, hope, and intensity. This collection gives voice to people we don't ordinarily notice and situations we may ignore.
"The short story dwells within narrow corridors and, in Impossibly Small Spaces, a collection that seamlessly matches form with content, Lisa C. Taylor gifts the reader with cut-glass explorations of the diminishing spaces and of the freedoms--illusory, fleeting, elusive--so craved by a heartbreakingly real cast of characters. Wonderful." -Alan McMonagle (author of Ithaca)
"Hugely perceptive, sizzling with electric images, this is top-class writing where grace and precision are brought to bear on lives that glow brightly in the reader
s mind long after the last page." -Geraldine Mills (author of Hellkite and Gold)
"The first sentences grab you, the plots take you to unexpected places, and the endings shake you up. What a pleasure to read!" -Ellen Meeropol (author of Kinship of Clover and On Hurricane Island)
